Hi, Bob--
Admittedly, I am fresh to the Group, but not so to Pirsig. I read him first
back in 1976, or possibly the year before--I can't recall, that was graduate
school time for me, and consequently, I have tried blocking out some of its
more vacuous or pretentious moments.

Since you appear to be someone who knows the Group well, can you initiate me
a bit and tell me some of the unspoken "rubrics" of the discussion? On what
levels of understanding/applying Pirsig's notes are the members generally?
Is a sense of humor allowed or is it seen as an intellectual vice, or
somewhere in between?

Any feedback would be welcome. Thanks. It seems like a fascinating place in
the realm.
Jeff

PS--I'm not too fond of Casteneda either; he reminds me too much of a New
Age Infomercial.
